I am trying to setup a small test network to be pure IPv6. Running Server 2008R2 and two Windows 7 clients via an unmanaged switch. I tried some "instructions" online and haven't had much luck, didn't find much on Spiceworks either :(. Can anyone point me to a good set of instructions or a Spiceworks post that covers this? Thanks.

If you have an old PC or server laying around, i would look at loading up the community version of Vyatta and setting it up as an IPv6 router. It supports basic firewalling as well as routing. http://www.vyatta.org/

One thing about IPv6 DHCP that is different and you will notice right off is that there is no default gateway (IPv4 DHCP option 003 - Router) setting in DHCP.

When setting up your IPv6 DHCP server you will have the option of setting it up stateless or statefull (a lot of documentation will call this setting the "M" flag), which more or less allows you to define your DNS servers in DHCP or in the router neighbor discovery (nd) packets.

IPv6 routing is handled differently by using neighbor discovery (nd).

You will set your IPv6 subnets up in your router and your router will define how the neighbor discovery packets are sent out.
